OFF! FamilyCare Insect & Mosquito Repellent Spritz ($7)
This OFF! Bug spray has 7% DEET, ideal for a quick walk, a trip to a park, or an al fresco family dinner where you don't plan to invite mosquitos, gnats, and ticks. "This lower percentage DEET spray is a good option for those trips outside lasting less than two hours," Dr. Stovall says. The non-greasy formula contains soothing Aloe Vera. Also, keeping concentrations low is a great compromise for anyone who wants the proven bug-fighting powers of DEET, but are wary of the reported side effects like skin irritation.
Top Amazon review: "We use it as family, including [on] my kid. Mosquitoes are especially abundant in summer, but children enjoy activities in the backyard. Spray it once before going out, [and] I don't have to worry anymore."
